In the “masterful” (Los Angeles Times) second installment in the New York Times bestselling Legend trilogy, June and Day find themselves at a moral crossroads they never could have predicted.

“Thrilling action and futuristic settings are sure to please fans of Divergent.”—Shelf Awareness, starred review

After escaping from the Republic’s stronghold of Los Angeles, June and Day arrive in Vegas just as the unthinkable happens: the Elector Primo dies, and his son Anden takes his place.

With the Republic edging closer to chaos, the pair joins a group of Patriot rebels eager to help Day rescue his brother and offer them passage to the Colonies. The Patriots have only one request—June and Day must assassinate the new Elector.

It’s the chance to change the nation, to give voice to a people silenced for too long. But as June realizes this Elector is nothing like his father, she’s haunted by the choice ahead. What if Anden is a new beginning? What if revolution must be more than loss and vengeance, anger and blood?

Lu proves that a book 2 needn't play second fiddle, providing intrigue and deep pleasure all its own.”—The Los Angeles Times

“Clear your calendar to allow yourself the luxury of reading this book in one or two sittings. You will be shaken . . .”—The New York Journal of Books

“Lu opts for a high simmer of intrigue in her sequel to Legend . . . taut and insightful.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

Made me cry. Lively romance. Virus controlling a population. Raw and realistic. The double narrative is a big plus. I am very impressed, I hope the author gets more recognition. The story takes a bit of warming up but totally worth it.
